Background: Food biodiversity in human diets has potential co-benefits for both public health and sustainable food systems. However, current evidence on the potential relationship between food biodiversity and cancer risk, and particularly gastrointestinal cancers typically related to diet, remains limited. This study evaluated how dietary species richness (DSR) was associated with gastrointestina

A parent’s life threating illness and death can significantly affect their children's wellbeing in both the short and long term. Support from professionals is recommended when parents lack the ability to help children cope with loss, bereavement, and grief. The overall aim of this dissertation was to illuminate professionals’ encounters with children of a seriously ill or deceased parent and to ex

To meet climate targets, expanding Populus spp. tree cultivation is proposed as a potential biomass feedstock, especially on agricultural land that does not come into conflict with food production. However, biomass potential assessments typically overlook landowners' perspectives, risking a gap between theoretical potentials and realisation. Here, we test empirical consequences of two hypotheses b

Introduction Despite the improvements in diabetes management by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) it is difficult to capture the complexity of CGM data in one metric. We aimed to develop a clinically relevant multidimensional scoring model with the capacity to identify the most alarming CGM episodes and/or patients from a large cohort. Research design and methods Retrospective CGM data from 2017

Background Infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare but severe infectious disease. Patients with IE are treated for weeks in the hospital and have profound impairments to their health. New treatment modalities increase options for outpatient care. Little is known about how patients perceive their disease and hospitalisation. We aimed to explore the needs of patients with IE during hospitalisation and

One risk of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is inadvertent hypothermia (IH), which is defined as a non-therapeutic core temperature decrease below normal. In continuous renal replacement therapy, heat loss will always occur from blood pumped through the dialysis circuit to cooler environment, predisposing for hypothermia. Blood flow and effluent flows are the most important parameters

Aims/hypothesis: The aim of this work was to examine the impact of hypoglycaemia on daily functioning among adults with type 1 diabetes or insulin-treated type 2 diabetes, using the novel Hypo-METRICS app. Methods: For 70 consecutive days, 594 adults (type 1 diabetes, n=274; type 2 diabetes, n=320) completed brief morning and evening Hypo-METRICS ‘check-ins’ about their experienced hypoglycaemia a

Previous literature has reported increased rates of gambling problems in athletes compared to non-athletes. More liberal gambling-related attitudes have been suggested as a reason, although this rarely has been researched. The present study aimed to examine gambling experience, gambling problems, and gambling-related attitudes and parental gambling experience in high school students, comparing stu

In the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, the accelerated shift to remote and hybrid work modes has left many office buildings vacant. Meanwhile, many cities struggle with providing housing. Adaptive reuse (AR) is the process of giving an existing building a new life, typically through an extensive renovation and refurbishment. Residential adaptative reuse specifically refers to adapting for hous

Climate warming is driving changes in species distribution, but habitat characteristics can interact with warming temperatures to affect populations in unexpected ways. We investigated wintering waterbird responses to climate warming depending on habitat characteristics, with a focus on the northern boundary of their non-breeding distributions where winter climatic conditions are more extreme. At

Background: Circulating dietary biomarkers are not direct proxies for intake, as the biomarkers reflect not only food and supplement consumption but also nutrient absorption, metabolism, and tissue distribution. Therefore, along with nutrient intake, several other upstream factors can impact dietary biomarker concentrations, including demographic, medical history, and genetic factors. Objectives:

Med utgångspunkt i en etnografisk studie av den ideella gemenskapen Anonyma Narkomaner (NA) i Sverige och en genealogisk analys av NA:s beroendebegrepp undersöker denna studie varför personer som använder droger på sätt som anses olämpliga samtidigt betraktas som både klandervärda och oskyldiga.Studien använder begreppet den globala drogmoralen för att benämna de principer som styr när, var, hur o
